The Cruel Destiny

THIRTY-FOUR

The song love is gone with guitar quotes is heard in Ezra's coffee shop. And that voice sounds so familiar.

"Btw, why did Arion take us here? isn't it every time he comes home from work that he's supposed to go to his papa's office?" Brady asked Felix.

After college Arion invited the two of them to hang out here, while Dafa was busy making assignments so that he could not come along.

"I don't know either, but it's like he's got a problem" Felix replied, sipping a coffee latte he ordered.

"He didn't tell you the same story?"

Felix shook his head, and the two of them noticed Arion who was living the song.

After finishing singing one song, Arion put the guitar on a guitar stand located in the corner of the stage.

Arion joined his two best friends.

"Rion, don't you have to go to your Papa's office? why don't we even come here?" Brady asked as he looked at his best friend.

Arion drank his coffee before answering.

"I'm bad again, like I won't help Papa anymore" said Arion flat.

"What's the matter anymore?" Ask Felix curious.

"My father and grandfather set me up with the Shire, last night he and his parents went to my house"

"Whatt,,,?" Screeched Felix.

Plots,,,

Brady snapped at the head of his best friend, because his ears were ringing because of the screams of Felix sitting next to him.

"Don't yell too" said Brady, glaring.

Felix just grinned while stroking his head.

"So the plan continues? what are you going to do to reject that marriage? or are you leaving Elmira?" Tanya Brady.

"No, I promised Elmira that whatever would happen I would still choose her" Arion seemed so sure that she would continue to maintain her feelings for Elmira.

"I agree with Rion, I support your stance" Felix said.

And Brady was a mangosteen.

Dafa had just finished his work at the campus library with some of his classmates, when he was about to leave himself confronted by Fani.

"Dafa," cried Fani.

"What the hell? move aside, I want to pass by" Dafa said tightly.

"I want to talk to you for a minute"

Dafa exhaled a rough breath, and he looked very irritated.

"Daf, we go first" said another friend as he passed away.

"OK," said Dafa as he held his thumb.

Then he looked at Fani with a flat face.

"What did you say? splinter! I don't have much time" said Dafa.

"Em, we can't talk about it not here, because,,,,,"

"Here or not at all" Cut Dafa.

"All right, I just want to say" Fani sighed softly "Please don't stay away from me, and,, I like you Daf" he continued, bowing his head.

Fani felt that if her heart was currently beating fast, she truly admired the figure of Dafa whom she considered a good man.

Dafa was not surprised anymore when the girl before him expressed his feelings.

"I never said I didn't like you" Dafa said.

"I'm going to try to change into a better person Daf, yes, I'm going to do that for you, so give me a chance huh?" Fani said with a pleading face.

Dafa frowned when he heard Fani's words, in his heart he wondered, why does everyone near the Shire like to force his will?.

"Denger yes Fan, I can't accept you. Moreover, your intentions changed just for my sake, and I believe such a change of self is not sincere, and usually ends up being unkind. If you want to change your attitude and nature, change it for yourself. After all it's a matter of Fan's feelings, you must know that feeling can't be forced" Dafa tried to advise Fani "Udah, don't waste your time chasing after me Fan, don't waste your time chasing me, you better focus on learning so that graduation is fast" he continued.

Without waiting for an answer, Dafa passed away leaving Fani alone who seemed to still digest the words that had just come out of the lips of the man she loved.

Dafa glanced at his watch which had shown him at five in the afternoon, and then he decided to go straight home.

Arion arrived at the mansion at about eight in the evening, because after the coffee shop he stopped by the music store to buy a guitar.

A servant opened the door for her, and Arion stepped into the mansion.

Just as he was about to climb the stairs to go to the second floor, suddenly a thunderous shout came from behind.

"ARIONN,,,"

For a moment Arion closed his eyes before turning to the source of the voice.

"You're still asking what's up, huh? where were you after college? why not come to the office? Papa's phone you didn't pick up either" Roger looked very angry, his eyes glistening towards his son.

But instead of being afraid, Arion turned a cynical smile towards his Papa.

"I was bad Pa, and after college I went to the music store to look around for guitars. And one more thing, I was deliberately silent my phone, because it was too noisy" replied Arion with a defiant face.

Roger clenched his hand because he felt underestimated by his own son.

"Start brave of you ignoring Papa, huh? do you feel great?" Jerky Roger.

Arion grunted in annoyance.

"I only learned from Papa, Papa himself who first ignored my feelings and desires, so don't blame me if I imitate what Papa has done to me" Jawab Arion in a sharp tone.

With a trembling face Roger approached his son.

Plakkk,,,,,

So angry Roger to slap Arion cheek twice.

And Arion returned with a cynical smile to his Papa while rubbing his cheek.

"What a light hand are you? but remember one thing, don't blame me if one day my punch will land on your own. Because what? because I just imitate your attitude" said Arion sharply, then with a cold attitude he passed away to go up the stairs to his room.

Maybe from now on he will really rebel against his father, he does not care about the consequences he will get later.

"The more days his attitude is getting more insolent" Bumpat Roger while clenching his hands.

Meanwhile, at the Twist cafe Elmira was cleaning a table that had just been left by customers. Tonight cafe visitors are not too crowded, so the girl can relax a little while reading a book.

But just a few sheets he read his mind was fixed on Arion, he remembered his conversation with the lover last afternoon while on campus.

"El, papa and my grandfather were determined to match me with the Shire, even last night he came to my house with his family" Arion said honestly, he did not want to hide anything from Elmira.

The look on Elmira's face changed, her heart throbbing in pain at Arion's words.

"Continue?"

"Yes I refused El, I don't want to be fooled like that. Like I said, no matter what happens, I'll still choose you"

"Did your parents know about our relationship?

"Not El, I'll say it at the right time"

Elmira nodded her head.

"Well, what book are you reading?"

"Eh, what?" Elmira looked startled as Kenzi was suddenly sitting in front of her.

"Now, you're daydreaming, what the hell is that?" Ask Kenzi kepo.

"So, sister, I didn't think anything of it" Elmira replied with a grin.

Kenzi knew that his co-worker was hiding something, but he didn't want to push her.

"Your boyfriend isn't here?" Kenzi asked something else.

"Sister, he's busy" replied Elmira.

Then they also fell silent.

Finally the clock showed at ten o'clock in the evening, Elmira and Kenzi closed the cafe.

When he wanted to go home a taxi was waiting in front of the cafe, the taxi was special came to pick up Elmira on orders from Arion.

Arion who knew if his lover always came home at night, finally took the initiative to rent a taxi and pay the rent once every week.

Elmira is now in a taxi, all the way she thinks about her relationship with Arion in the future.

Actually he had guessed that his relationship with Arion must have encountered many obstacles, but his love feelings were much greater than his worry.

So Elmira prefers to follow her heart rather than accept the reality.
